At what age does a wolf stop growing?

I've been a little curious about something recently. Does anyone know at what age wolves are usually classed as fully grown, and whether or not it's affected by the gender?

Wolves are fully grown at one year of age:
Epiphyseal cartilage closes off signaling the end of skeletal growth

It does not appear that a wolf’s sex plays a significant factor in reaching the above change.

Nice to know, this will help me decide what size I want my intended yearling wolves in WolfQuest to be.
I appreciate the help!
